Huts
The center and usually the starting point of the hiking tour is Lech . The recommended entry point, however, is Landsteg ( 1080 m above sea level ) - located on the Bregenzerwaldstraße between Schoppernau and Schröcken - where the hiking trail starts right at the bus stop. From there you can take the supply route to the Biberacher Hut ( 1846 m above sea level ) on the Schadona Pass in around two hours . Alternatively, you can hike from Schröcken ( 1269 m above sea level ) in four to five hours over the Alpe Felle and the Braunarlfürggele ( 2145 m above sea level ) to the hut. The Hochkünzelspitze ( 2397 m above sea level ) offers a summit variant .
From the Biberacher, the tour leads either in four and a half hours over Litealpe, lower and upper Alpschellaalpe and the karst Gamsboden or in five hours also over Litehütte, then over the Braunarlfürggele and Braunarlspitze ( 2649 m above sea level ) and the Theodor-Praßler- Path to the Göppinger hut ( 2245 m above sea level ). The local mountain of the Göppinger Hütte is the Hochlichtspitze ( 2600 m above sea level ).
There are two options for the route from the Göppinger to the Freiburger Hütte ( 1918 m above sea level ): once every five hours past the Eastern Johanneskopf , through the Johanneswanne to the Upper Johannesjoch and down to the Formarinalpe ( 1871 m above sea level ). Opposite the Alpe is a memorial for the resettlement of ibexes in the Eastern Alps. Then either south or north ( farm road ) around the Formarinsee to the Freiburger Hütte. The southern climb offers a beautiful view over the Formarinsee to the Rote Wand . The so-called bad weather variant also takes five hours from the Göppinger hut past the propeller monument over the upper and lower Älpele into the Formarintal to the Formarinalpe.
On the way from the Freiburger to the Ravensburger Hütte , the path climbs steeply to the southern flank of the Formaletsch . Then you cross the Stone Sea before the hiking trail climbs very steeply over the Gehrengrat to the Dalaaser Schütz . From there you descend to the Spullersee , which can be bypassed either via the north dam or the road from the Ravensburger Hütte south of the lake. The Ravensburger Hut is reached after about five hours. As a bad weather variant (three and a half hours) there is a descent on the road to the Formarintal, then via Tannlägeralpe and Spullertal to Spullersee. The Spullerschafberg ( 2679 m above sea level ) can be climbed from the hut .
The Stuttgarter Hütte is at 2310 m above sea level. A. the highest hut on the Lechquellen circuit. It can be reached in five and a half hours via the Stierlochjoch , Madlochjoch , Lake Zürs ( 2150 m above sea level ), descent to Zürs ( 1717 m above sea level ), Trittalpe ( 1946 m above sea level ) and Endress-Weg . Somewhat easier, but five and three quarters of an hour longer, is the path via Stierlochjoch , Zug and Lech, from where you can take the Rüfikopf cable car to the Rüfikopf to get to the Stuttgarter Hütte via the Rauhekopfscharte , the summit of which is the Krabachspitze ( 2522 m o. A. ) is.
From the Stuttgarter Hütte you can get back to the starting point in Lech either with the Rüfikopfbahn or in four hours over the Bocksbachsattel ( 2340 m above sea level ), Friedrich-Mayer-Weg and the Tällialpe .

renewal
If the tour is to last seven instead of six days, the Ulmer Hut ( 2288 m above sea level ) is an option. To do this, climb from Zürs over the Flexenpass ( 1773 m above sea level ) to the hut, about seven hours of walking. From the Ulmer Hütte ascent to the Valfagehrjoch ( 2539 m above sea level ), from here either ascent to Valluga ( 2809 m above sea level ) and subsequent descent to the Robert-Bosch-Weg , the high-altitude path below the Roggspitze to the Stuttgarter Hütte or direct descent to the Robert-Bosch-Weg. The shorter variant leads partially insured over the trittscharte .
